The income from this fund is awarded annually to Trinity Episcopal Church of Aurora in remembrance of Harvey and Florence Divekey.

Each distribution is made in honor of the October 19, 1909 anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Divekey’s marriage.

Harvey Divekey (1877-1952) was a lifelong resident of Aurora.  He and his brother John Divekey founded Illinois Supply Company.

Florence Divekey (1884-1969), also a lifelong Auroran, was a graduate of the University of Wisconsin.

The Divekeys were members of Trinity Episcopal Church and were active in many civic and charitable organizations in the Aurora area.

As a first-generation college student from a low-income family, I was worried about how I was going to pay for books and supplies. This scholarship will allow me to focus more on my studies instead of worrying about how to afford college. I am working to not only create opportunities for myself but to motivate future generations. Thank you so much for helping me along this journey!

Thank you very much for supporting my college education for these four years. I will never be able to repay you for the opportunity that this scholarship has given to me.

A community foundation is a donor-driven organization that helps donors custom-design funds that reflect their charitable interests. Through the years, grants from these funds have made a significant impact on our local communities.

We chose the Community Foundation because of its reputation. It’s well known, established and we can trust them to do the job for us.

…you can always start small, even $25 can make a difference. Remember we can’t take our money with us. Even if it’s just your gift of time. Volunteer and get involved.
